Making spur gears is not that difficult. It is actually easy but some basic information is required in addition to patience in order to get it done.
This video contains about 30 minutes of gear cutting theory and another 30 minutes about putting that theory into practise.

In this video I am using:
Weiler Matador SV (1972) Lathe
Schaublin SV-51 (1955) Milling machine
Solberga (1975) Drill press
